Leonberg is a village and district of Maxhütte-Haidhof in the Schwandorf district in Bavaria . Until 1972, Leonberg was the seat of the municipality of the same name .
history
Leonberg is named as limperc in 1233 . The medieval castle complex was largely destroyed in the Thirty Years War. However, the administration of the property remained in Leonberg. On October 6, 1796, Wilhelm Carl Freiherr von Eckart acquired the castle and Hofmark . The community of Leonberg came into being with the Bavarian community edict of 1818 and included the places Leonberg, Berghof, Binkenhof, Blattenhof, Brunnheim, Fürsthof, Harberhof (Harbachhof), Kappl, Kreilnberg, Lintermühle, Roßbach and Stadlhof. In 1827 the Hofmark Leonberg was dissolved and this property was incorporated into Fideikommiss Leonberg-Fischbach. The last remnants of the aristocracy were abolished in the revolution of 1848 . Heinrich Graf von der Mühle-Eckart built the neo-baroque Leonberg Palace from 1885 to 1890 , which is still owned by the family. The American General George S. Patton , Commander in Chief of the 3rd Army , took quarters at Leonberg Castle for several weeks from April 23, 1945. On January 1, 1972, the previously independent community was dissolved and incorporated into the town of Maxhütte-Haidhof in the Schwandorf district.
